Questions & Answers

The TSD Tactical-601 CO2 blowback M1911 pistol is modeled after the famous military issued M1911 and has an outstanding blowback recoil when fired. Shown in beautiful black finish, this pistol features a full metal slide with a functional safety, a 16 rd magazine, and a shot velocity of 370-380 fps (using .20g BBs). A Weaver/Picatinny rail located under the barrel of the gun allows users to attach tactical lasers and flashlights with ease. The adjustable hop-up unit lets you to adjust the accuracy of the gun when shooting from long distances. Take aim and fire!

Things I liked: Looks amazingly like the 1911 firearm. Shoots well. Great sights.

Things I would have changed: Molded in grip safety is very uncomfortable. On the 1911 firearm the grip safety retracts when you grip the pistol but on this it is molded into the plastic and digs into the palm of your hand. I sanded it down so it is less uncomfortable but due to the design of the gun I couldn't sand it down enough.

What others should know: I will keep this for its great looks but would recommend that people buy a different version without the immovable grip safety so it would be more comfortable to hold.

Things I liked: Looks great. I love the wood-like plastic grips. It looks as though the side grips could be swapped with any standard 1911 grips.
Single action trigger is nice. The hammer is easy to cock one-handed, and fairly easy to decock.
Shoots straight. The longer barrel makes it easier to line up shots.

Things I would have changed: Move the CO2 canister out of the magazine. Reloading wastes way too much CO2.
Paint dots on the rear sight; only the front sight has a dot.

What others should know: I've got 400 rounds through this gun. It eats CO2 due to the canister being placed inside the magazine. Ejecting and inserting the magazine uses about 3/4 of the CO2. I'm able to shoot only 4 magazines per CO2 canister. By comparison my P99 DAO will shoot 16 magazines per CO2 canister.
The front sight is molded into the slide and has a white dot. The rear sight has no dots but is mounted in a dovetail and is adjustable; it could probably be swapped-out with another 1911 rear sight.
Even though this gun eats CO2, I like shooting it so much that I will start buying canisters in bulk.

2014.09.17 update: pistol has started to break after firing a few thousand rounds. Twice in the past week the barrel bushing / spring cap has flown off the muzzle of the gun. It is held in place by just a tiny hex-head set screw. Putting it back requires disassembling the slide using a tiny philips screwdriver and the included allen wrench. While you have it apart, use some Pellgun oil on the recoil piston.

2014.03.04 update: CO2 consumption is due to the blowback. This gun really packs a wallop. I'm growing to like it more every day. It's a great replica to train with, except the slide does not lock back when the magazine is empty.

I see comments that say the gun loses gas when ejecting the magazine to reload, How can this be - ?? I have several co2 pistols with the co2 gas in the magazine ( like the Walther CP99 ) and none of them lose gas when the mag. is removed for loading projectiles . Surely the so called high gas consumption is more likely due to the Blowback system ?
Is there an expert out there that can clarify this for me as it will effect my decision as to buy his model or not.
